I seek to utilize my breadth of experience and skills to deliver IT services and solutions focused in the Specialty Construction and Oil and Gas Upstream industries. My major focus over the past 10 years has been implementing IT solutions and services supporting both Quanta Services Fleet Management and BHP's North American Shale (NAS) Asset in production and operations, in the Permian Basin. I recently played a key role in BHP's divestiture of NAS, slashing spending and negotiating termination agreements with software and services providers resulting in a savings of several million dollars. I also helped facilitate the transfer of production data and knowledge to the assets' buyers and how they were used to support the operations, production engineering, and finance functions.What drives me is finding new ways to add value to the bottom line using creative IT solutions (software and services) and efficiently deploying them into the organization, streamlining operations, or enabling a new value-added capability. My track record includes supervisory and technical roles in vendor and project management, service delivery, computer systems, and network management. I am a resourceful team player combining strong communication and business relationship skills with cross-functional team leadership abilities to achieve results.
